The week-long event will create awareness on the significance of international trade for the economic development of Maharashtra and the entire country. International trade not only drives economic growth, but also promotes overall progress of society by generating employment opportunities, better education, infrastructure and public services. World Trade Day is organized by World Trade Centers and other Trade Promotion Organisations across the world to create awareness about the importance of international trade on regional development.
Currently, India's share in global merchandise trade is hardly 1.94%. Maharashtra is a major export hub of India with the state contributing over 25% to India’s overall merchandise exports.
